HMS Blandford by hamilton - FINISHED - from Corel HMS Greyhound - 1:100


Recommended Posts

Thank you for that hamilton,  i have been saving some diagrams and pictures of greyhound and her sisters, and one or two first obvious things i can see, firstly i noticed that the bulwak on the real ship steps down further back towards the mizen mast close to bulkhead no 10, and the mention of there being 11 gun ports on the real ship, i think the missing number 11 port is in the rear captains cabin, just as in many fighting vessels.

Hi Collingwood:

 

You're right - there are definitely challenges in trying to realise an authentic Greyhound (or Blandford) out of this kit. The bulwark step is one issue that I had to fudge and that will remain a bit of a sore point with me. As for the gunports - Corel has chosen to make the foremost "bridle" port into a gunport, which results in the "missing" gunport aft that you notice. There really is no room on this kit for adding that aftmost port. I chose to represent the Blandford awkwardly as an "18-gun" ship, since putting cannons in the foremost port would have blocked the ladders to the forecastle - thus I figured them as "bridle ports" and of necessity had to drop the number of cannons.....I don't know how this could have been solved with this kit - it would have required a considerable elongation of the centre keel and the addition of another bulkhead piece......

What i will do is try to space the 11th port quite close to the side cabin window assembly, as this looks like how they have been laid out, like in the victory where nelson had one in his quarters that was lashed against the side when not in use, and when in action his best and most trusted gunnery men would fire from it.

It looks like there might just be enough room just after bulhead 12, possibly not quite centred between bulkheads as with the others, but a slight nudge towards bul 12 might not look to bad, even if not open or cut out it could be a dummy port just engraved with hinge assembly.

Hamilton,

 

I've just seen your log now, because you've done the whole thing while I was on hiatus from my model!  Amazing.

 

You've done a fantastic job fixing and upgrading the kit weaknesses.   She looks great.

 

Cheers,

Ron

Thanks Ron! Much appreciate - I've been admiring your work on the Oneida!

 

Hi Collingwood - perhaps this could work, but I think you might encounter problems since the Corel keel does not really correspond to the plans you've posted above - it is simply too short. You might get away with it with a different quarter gallery arrangement than the one depicted in the images you've posted - Goodwin depicts one with a single window that could accommodate a tenth gunport given Corel's design.

 

I'm curious about the second image - the one marked "Blandford, Lynx & Scarborough". It's clearly taken from Goodwin's Anatomy of the Ship HMS Blandford - one of the primary sources I've been using. But I'm curious about the cyrillic characters in the bottom left....is this an image you found online? Or a scanning of a hard copy plan sheet that you have?

Sorry gents, no scans of full pages of copyrighted books. 'Fair use' would utilise a subsection to prove whatever point you are trying to make, as opposed to the full image.

 

Any full image would need to be accompanied by a 'reprinted by permission of ......' after having received permission to reprint.

 

Thanks for your forbearance.

Hi hamilton,  sorry for the delay internet probs,  that plan i showed of the three ships "Blandford, Lynx & Scarborough"  was from a google serch of HMS Blandford, i think possibly with a little bit of - modifying here modifying there, and possibly with abit of work around the rudder post/keel and rear quarters, the eleventh port might just fit in, even if quite close to the window, or perhaps moving each gun port a few mm  closer to the b/heads and loosing the difference within the gun deck length,  im happy to experiment with all this, as i dont mind doing abit of kit bashing/scratch building, if you saw my De-Ag Victory on here i was building the year before last,  you would see my efforts with different ideas.

Well there's only been modest progress on Blandford lately - things are gearing up at work and there is no longer the time I used to have for modelling. I expect that I'll be slowing down considerably, between work, baby and upcoming holidays.....bits and pieces here and there I suspect....we'll see how things go.

 

In the meantime, here are a few pictures - since last post I've attached and rigged the fore topgallant mast, added rigging for the fore staysail & jibsail and tied a whole bunch of ratlines (still the fore mast ratlines to go!!). Hope you're all having fun out there

Hamilton, how your getting so much detail on a ship so small is a wonder to me, she's looking great.

 

Well done mate and keep it up, almost complete now. Super job.

Great progress there she is looking mighty fine and very realistic looking, i understand what you meen about finding the time, i was in a similar situation some time ago, but since my dissability and the wifes we have more time on our hands, mine for boat building and photography and the wife with her knitting, also its appropriate my build where we live - its a 17th century cottage that saw action during the english civil war in 1640 so building such a ship seems to fit in, i think the house approves aswell.

Thanks all for the compliments - as always much appreciated!

 

Still mired in tying ratlines, which I hope to finish this evening (if I can finish up some work this afternoon). Then finally it'll be back to some more interesting work on the build - namely, constructing, outfitting and rigging the yards....then on to the final stages - sweep ports, sweeps, anchors, finishing the lanterns and the figurehead. Probably won't finish until after Christmas at this point, but that just means more time with this build, which has been as fun as it's been frustrating. Bye for now

Well the ratlines are done - thankfully! This phase of ship modelling always feels like a weird stall...the repetitiveness of it, the endless clove hitches...I'm thankful it's done - now I know that it will feel like things are picking up again. Of course I probably won't have much time to work on Blandford in the coming weeks, but it's good to know that the standing rigging is now complete! Here's a photo. Enjoy and happy modelling

True enough Bob! I don't mind them too much, but after so many days it starts to feel like I'm in a deep rut.....in the past (for) now!

Hi Hamilton,

I am feeling somewhat embarrassed being intensely in building Berlin... I am awaiting the inspiration come back again...

It's good to have a break now and then...

Your rigging skill is really outstanding...

By the way, what are you thinking about the ornaments -being set aside for a while- along the bulwarks forward & aft and on the transom, any other ideas? :huh:

Best Regards…

Hi Ferit:

 

I agree about taking a break - I've been feeling less pressure to work on the Greyhound, especially as my schedule fills up with other things...

 

As for the decorative elements, I think I'm going to leave them off...at least for now. The bulwarks are now masked behind the shrouds, so I can't get at them even if I wanted - the transom I might still try something with and I will probably end up finishing the kit supplied figurehead and using that....we'll see.

 

Anyway, thanks for coming by! Look forward to more of your Berlin soon
